1. A science class is at a frozen lake for a field trip, and they are experimenting with hockey pucks on the ice. A student says, "If I push harder on this hockey puck when I make it slide, then it will slide faster along the ice.” What could the student add to make the statement a hypothesis?
proof that the statement is true
examples of other objects on ice
explanation of why the puck slides faster
dependent and independent variables

2. Is this a good hypothesis statement? " I think shaving my legs will make me run faster."
It is a good hypothesis because it has an IV & DV as well as it is a prediction
It is NOT a good hypothesis because it is not in the correct format:(If/then)
It is NOT a good hypothesis because the IV & DV are in the wrong locations.
It is a good hypothesis because the prediction makes sense and it written in the correct format.
